Where do sellers obtain all these wonderously toned coins?

RGL

Man. it can be difficult to come up with toned raw coins. Yet, this seller has two pages of coins, all toned, whether they are BU, Proof or circulated. Thankfully, that they all are common dates makes them affordable for little guys like me. Some sellers just seem to have a knack for coming up with toners, I guess. Never one to keep a good thing to myself, you are welcome to join in the bidding AT the following LINK.

Ask the seller a question like "Are your coins AT'D?"

Unfortunately all of them are AT except this perfect specimen.

I buy a lot of slabbed toners from JBStevens... TBT is also a great source. The nice stuff is typicly already in a holder. Every once in a great while I'll see a decent (but not jaw dropper) raw toner at a show.

You can find "real" toned coins at major shows if you are willing to spend big bucks....this group probably did not cost big bucks..........

I will say I just got two coins from him--I even ran them by Tom Bush (now on the NGC boards) who has lots of toned material--we both think they're real... then again, the colors are a little more subdued...

I fortunately stumble on them from time to time, and yes Jason has some nice ones. I picked up an awesome (I need to learn to take pics) toned '67FB merc from him at the FUN show. It's the prettiest toned merc I've seen.

Let's analyse this from a logical progression & see what we find.

1. Not a single coin is graded by a reputable grading service.
2. Every coin is a common coin that can be purchased at very reasonably prices untoned and they are readily available.
3. They all seem to have a similar "look".
4. The colors seem to look "thick" and un-natural.

I sure a more detailed analysis of those coins would yield even more factors that would indicated toning of a questionable nature.
While no single factor would require a conclusion of AT, adding them together seems to eliminate NT.

Russ, is that set up sold next to the Easy Bake ovens?
